1T would seem that the government
land department at Washington
should learn wisdom from experience
and drop certain timber suits IL has in
stituted agasnst parties in this Terri
tory. It's repeated failure to make out
q case against the Montana Improve
ment company, and against Messrs,
Bonner, Hammond and others would
suggest this course. Any further pro-
ceedings against those parties by the
government would be a persecution
rather than q prosecution, for no in
terests Of the government or the
territory could be subserved by them.
The history Of these timber suits de-
veloped a startling amount Of ignor-
ance and stupidity upon the part Of
the government advisers. The first
suit was brought against the Northern
Pacific and Montana Improvement
companies jointly. In the trial Of
this case the latter established its ind,-
pendence of the Northern Pacific rail-
road COMPANY In the business Of cut.
ting timber, 20 the suit against II Was
dismissed. Then n second suit was
commenced against the railroad COM
company To compel an accounting
witt the government Ms tenants in
common. In this the government
was again beaten In the courts Of the
territory. Still later indictments upon
the charge of trespass upon the public
lands were found against the members
Of the Montana Improvement COM
pany. These indictments, IL appears,
were found upon the sftidavits of at.
sent parties and not by personal evil
dence. Upon THE ground the indict-
ments were qusshed aud the defend
ants discharged. IL is now hoped we
have heard the last Of these suits.
They have been q constant source Of
annoyance and anxiety TO the miners
and mill men Of the territory. while
the government has established
nothing which impairs the rights of
citizens to cut timber upon the public
domain for domestic purposes. And
that Is all at the utmost the defend.
ants in these cases did. No case hav-
ing been made out against the defend
ants, the dvisers Of the government
in this territory and in Washington
should no longer insist upon pro.ecut-
ing them.-Butte Miner.

Paper Pulp from Weeds.

Barrels are nov made from paper pulp.
and an inventor If the process says that
the weeds and rank grasses that grow ON
the meadows lying between jersey City
and Newark. in New jersey, will pro
duce an excellent pulp for tins purpose,
and that thus these practically waste
lands may lie made %proluctivc and
profitable. The cost Of manufacturing
the paper barrels is no greater than that
Of making the woWlen article, and. with
the patented machine. il is said that two
men can proluce 600 barrels in a day.

Dr. Andrew Jackson Grants Dashing

The announcement Of the death OF the notorious

Cambridge, Mass. on Monday recalls the circum-
stances Of his arrest the nth OF March last, at
Clayton, y. j., where he had bought a property
and had lived for about five months previously
under the name Of Alexander Perry. He was ar

A new theory of the final destruc-
ton of the earth Is that the polar
ice is penetrating the interior of the
globe like wedge, and that as
soon as it reaches the furnace there
will be an explosion that will split
the world into pieces.
One who claims to have tried it

a state that is surely drifting into
decay, and such is the condition Of
Nevada today. If there be no
chance to defeat the annexation
bill SO far as it may effect Idaho, it
should at least be left to the ratifi=
cation Of the voters of Southern
Idaho before becoming a law.
There would certainly be no injus-
tice in this, and if the majority of
the people express themselves in
favor of annexation to Nevada, the
people directly interested in the
matter will alone be responsible for
blotting the Gem of the Mountains
from the map of our country.
